The fast-casual sibling of a growing group of Michelin-recommended Shanghainese soup dumpling restaurants will be expanding to a second location in Boston.
According to a source (Kyle Meekins), Nan Xiang Express is planning to open in the South End, moving into the space on Washington Street that had been home to Bar Lyon. Once it opens, the new location will join another on Beach Street in Chinatown along with others in New York City and (soon) New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with the concept being a spinoff of the NYC-based Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, which has locations in New York and New Jersey and which is expanding to Pennsylvania and Connecticut. (Nan Xiang Xiao Long Baowas was named a Michelin-recommended Shanghainese restaurant over the course of nine consecutive years.)
The address for the new location of Nan Xiang Express in the South End is 1750 Washington Street, Boston, MA, 02118. The website for all locations can be found at https://nanxiangexpress.com/
[August 9 update: A message from local food/drinks feature writer and restaurant critic MC Slim JB indicates that Nan Xiang Express is now open in the South End.]
